Square Foot Pricing
Sq ft pricing and your Fernie home —
When building a custom home, consider it a prototype - no home has been built exactly this way before. From the site conditions (slope, soil, drainage etc) to the fixtures and finishes - all are unique to this project.
Getting a selection of builders to 'bid' on your plans will typically result in 3 very different homes. The reason for this is that providing pricing strictly off a set of blueprints will ensure that you aren't comparing aples to apples, and unless you are extremely well versed in new construction, the seemingly harmless nuances in the different 'bids' could result in a pendulum swing of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Instead, we recommend you seek out a reputable builder, who will openly explain their process and offer a transparent model which will ensure you get the best possible home for your budget and your family. They should be able to give you a price range for the project, that would indicate where on the spectrum of square foot pricing your home might fall.
Here are some additional questions to ask yourself when looking for a builder ~
Do you like the quality of construction of previous homes they have built?
How do they build homes differently than other builders?
Do they have positive reviews or testimonials on their website or direct from clients they are willing to share?
Can you inspect a current home under construction?
Do you like the owner and their project manager?
Do you trust them?
How often can you visit your home while under construction?
What warranty coverage do they offer?
